What happens when you don’t take care of something? It gets dusty. It develops an odor. It rusts. It rots. It dies. For example, a new car: it sure looks awesome driving off the lot, but it doesn’t stay that way. You have to wash it, change its oil, and bring it in for maintenance to keep it running smoothly. You may also need to clear out the garage so there’s room for your new ride or pack differently for vacation. How about a refrigerator? Plant life is another good illustration. Even the most robust of greenery needs occasional watering and proper exposure to sunlight to survive.
Whether we’re talking shiny new cars, factory-sealed refrigerators, or flourishing plant life, all require care and attention after the initial purchase.
It’s no different with new hires in your organization, both young and seasoned professionals alike.
